I'm travelling from Mount Gambier on Friday. I know there aren't any actual dedicated stores but was wondering if there's any thrift stores, market stores etc that stock a decent amount usually? Or even if EB Games has a decent amount of them? By retro I mean og Xbox and PS2 and backwards from there.

Thanks in advance

YouTube, Instagram, TikTok……whatever else is there. Do you know any Warrnambool-based content creators that are making podcasts, comedy skits, vlogs, gamer channels etc?

If results go as expected there will be a big World cup game on at 10am Sunday 5th July while I am on holiday in your lovely town.

​

Is there a good pub/sporting club that we might be able to catch the game with a good atmosphere and some fans?

"It's the 1980s, a decade of synth music, shoulder pads and big hair. It’s also the first wave of the devastating AIDS pandemic. Barry McCluskey, a young student nurse in regional Victoria, tests positive. When his results are made public, his life changes forever.

Barry’s story is a tale of fear and prejudice, but also of great courage and love.

Hello, I’m new to the city (and the country) and I want to ask the parking space around Liebig Street, do I pay in the machine right when I park or when I’m about to leave the parking space? Sorry if this is stupid question😭 I couldn’t find answers in Google

The Tough Guy Book Club started in Melbourne but is now worldwide. You can just rock up to any chapter on the first Wedneday at 7pm. All chapters read the same book. The Warrnambool chapter meets at the Whalers. This month we're reading 'Good Materials' by Holly Alderton. See you in July.

Anyone know where and when I can drop several bags of clothes and some household items to an op shop in the 'Bool? I work full time and need to do it on weekends or after hours. I tried Vinnie's last weekend but they've paused donations and I can't seem to find any of the big bins that used to be around (probably because they were misused?). Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask locals what time of the year do you think is the best time to watch whales and is a tour recommended or a great watching spot?

Google is a bit undefined saying June-Nov.

Thanks in advance

What are my chances of getting a seat on the train to Melb on Friday morning?

I’ve heard standing room only and I’ll drive if that’s the case.

“Lost in the beauty of Warrnambool, found in its calm.”

My [30f] and my husband [30m], along with our dogs and 6 months old baby are thinking of making the move from the Adelaide Hills. House prices here are through the roof and it looks like we can get a much bigger block for less than our house would sell for, free up some funds and create a less financially stressed lifestyle.

So to the locals, what’s good/bad about living there? We are also looking at towns outside of Warrnambool including Mortlake, Port Fairy and Terang.

For job context, I am a marketing professional and my husband is a carpenter. I am hoping to only have to work a few days a week if we move there.

Obviously I know why it's colloquially known as that, but what's the real name?

My mother-in-law asked, but I have no idea.

Hey so I'm looking at building in Warrnambool. Any builders I should avoid or any that are particularly great?

edit: to clarify the house is for me. I'm not rich enough to be a landlord lol

MISSING CAT

As of the past 12 hours we have noticed our cat Mynx has gone missing. She is an indoor cat and highly anxious, we hadn’t noticed a small hole in our cattery and after looking around the house multiple times have been unable to find her.

She has one eye, and an orange spot on top of her head.

She went missing around the thunderpoint, south warrnambool kinder area. She is unlikely to come up to you due to her anxiety but if found please contact me immediately as she will come to me.

Mobile: 0423 282 474

Just moved to warrnambool and new to fishing as well, any suggestions? I have been fishing in hopkins for now

Gday people,

We're heading to Warrnambool at the end of March, camping with the swag for the weekend. We're wondering on the opinions of the holiday parks for throwing down the tent.

Which has the better sites for being out of the weather? guessing wind is the worst enemy. Facilities in the camp kitchens?

We were thinking Surfside simply for its access to the surf beach. Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks in anticipation of opinions

Hey guys met with an accident and looking to repair the car .. Any recommendations for a good repairer or a panel beater around Warrnambool please ?
